Artist, Scottish, 1876 - 1953

The image shows a traditional building and a large tree from a slightly elevated point of view. The horizon is located towards the upper half where the structure and the tree meet the sky. The building has illuminated windows and is visible through silhouetted shapes. The painting style is loose and impressionistic, with broad brushstrokes focusing on form over detail. The color palette consists of dark shades with warm yellow accents coming from the windows.
